CO Hummer is an unknown quantity at this point
Default Re: In pursuit of the best WHISKEY......

Tonight's medley (in small quantities, of course).........

(1) Balvenie Doublewood - Unbelievably good. I've come full circle on Scotch, as evidenced by my purchases lately. Now I can't turn away from a single malt on sale. I'm pursing Scotch from each of the regions (Highlands-multiple, Lowlands, Islay, Campbelltown, etc).

(2) Crown Royal - Excellent, but Canadian whiskey just isn't the same after getting into the single malt Scotches. I still ove the CR because it is so smooooth.

(3) Next, I'm going for the Glenfiddich 12 yr. I've read where this is #20 in overall scotch sales throughout the world and #1 among single malts. That doesn't mean it's the best, of course. The price point is pretty good on this one and the scotch is excellent.

I have many bottles I haven't yet touched. The one I'm most excited about is the Laphraoig since I'm told it's the strongest and "nastiest" of all the scotch whiskys. Sounds like a good challenge as an acquired taste.
